Plan sees sex hotels as modest lodgings
November 24, 2004
The government has an innovative plan to increase the supply of low-priced
hotels in Korea for Southeast Asian and Chinese tourists.
Minister of Culture and Tourism Chung Dong-chae said yesterday that so-called
love hotels ? which offer rooms by the hour for sexual purposes ? could be
upgraded to create a standard for thrifty hotel chains.
He was speaking at a press conference hosted by the Korea Tourism Association
held at the Westin Chosun Hotel in downtown Seoul.
"To attract tourists from China, we have to expand hotels in the middle price
range, that is, between 80,000 won ($75) and 100,000 won," Mr. Chung said.
"Recently many foreign investors have shown an interest in Korea's tourism
industry ? but we have to have the facilities," he added.
